Moore's Cycles: 'We won't advertise in Richmond while Nye is editor'

Leon Moore of Moore's Cycles has told BikeBiz of its intentions to pull its advertising support of The Richmond magazine, following on from a hate-filled column wishing cyclists dead by editor Richard Nye.

In a statement passed to us, the store, whose Twickenham branch has featured twice previously in our annual 'Top 20 IBDs feature', said:

"Our customers and staff are all cyclists and it is utterly reprehensible that the editor of a magazine, which should be supporting the local community and businesses, can write such offensive comments.

"We were not aware of the editorial content when we booked our advert.
